Sen. John McCain rejoined the immigration debate Monday with a generous amnesty proposal for potentially 3 million illegal immigrants in exchange for promises of future border security — but the White House quickly rejected the plan, saying it fails President Trump’s test.

With the Senate slated to begin debating immigration by the end of this week, the bill GOP leaders bring to the floor will go a long way toward shaping the debate.

The White House is still pressing for Mr. Trump’s four-point “framework” to be the battlefield, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had yet to announce a decision.

“I think there are a lot of competing pressures at this moment,” said Marc Short, the director of legislative affairs at the White House. “We felt the proposal we put forward was a compromise proposal that should be able to earn bipartisan support and we would like to see it as the baseline for immigration.”

Sens. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and John Cornyn of Texas, two senior Republicans, were trying to adapt a bill to conform to Mr. Trump’s four pillars: citizenship rights for up to 1.8 million illegal immigrant “Dreamers”; a $25 billion trust fund for the border wall along with other changes to speed up deportations for new arrivals; limits to the chain of family migration; and an end to the diversity visa lottery.

But a new counterproposal was unveiled Monday by Mr. McCain and Sen. Chris Coons, Delaware Democrat. The bill tracks with a bipartisan House proposal released last month that would grant a pathway to citizenship to potentially more than 3.2 million illegal immigrants, allowing anyone who came before age 18 and before 2014 to apply for legal status.

“Our legislation, which already has broad support in the House of Representatives, would address the most urgent priorities of protecting Dreamers, strengthening border security, alleviating the backlog in immigration courts, and addressing the root causes of illegal immigration,” Mr. McCain said in a statement.

The bill does nothing to limit the chain of family migration nor does it end the diversity visa lottery, as Mr. Trump has called for.

Instead it would pump money into the struggling countries of Central America, hoping the cash will convince their governments to improve conditions and try to do more to keep their citizens at home.

John McCain is evil and the world will be a better place when that tumor finally does its job and takes him out.

The only hell is in this life. The hell of knowing your life is limited to one's present evil self centered intent & bare existence to be terminated forever at any time.

If there is a place where the wicked have eternal life in torment, then the snake in the Garden of Eden was correct, "Ye surely shall not die." And the God of all life and love lied when He said the "wages of sin is death."

Guess who invented "hell"? Those who preach that the Perfect Man, Jesus Christ, is in hell boiling in quano.

P.S. The "lake of burning fire" is not literal, but symbolic of the truely wicked being destroyed forever when the existence they have on Earth ends.
